Default Re: Musa basjoo

The plants in the conservatory don't look like Musa Basjoo in my opinion; Musa Basjoos usually have different looking petioles with "wings" on the side. Also, leaves and petioles are usually wider looking and leaves tend to blend more into the petioles on M. Basjoo.
Plants on the photo look more like Musa Balbisiana at first glance.. What colour flower did the plants have? Musa Basjoo allways has a yellow flower, balbisiana and acuminata have purple/pink.

Is there any chance it could have been mislabeled when planted?
